SffTools consists of SffToBmp, a little utility that converts Structured Fax Files to BMP, PBM, JPEG, or single- and multipage TIFF format, and SffView, a GUI viewer for those files.

The tools should be especially useful to people who are faxing with ISDN cards because the CAPI interface of these cards generates such files. CAPI support for Linux is available for the active card AVM B1 and the passive card AVM Fritz!

What's New in This Release:
SffToBmp has been around for a while, and one should think it has seen every strange SFF file yet.
However, there seem to be a few odd ones still left.
This release adds support for skipping "junk" at the beginning of the file until it reaches the "SFF" header.
It will skip up to 2048 bytes before giving up.
Other changes are backported from the Debian package, and a -quiet switch has been added for those that don't want to see anything at all on stdout.
